8/24    See, Dubya's administration isn't totally fucking things up:
        "Al-Banna has been accused of carrying out one of Iraq's deadliest
        suicide bombing ... the Jordanian government and al-Banna's family said
        he carried out a different suicide bombing in Iraq ... The Homeland
        Security memo ... said al-Banna was carrying a valid Jordanian passport
        and valid work visa [when he previously tried to enter the U.S. at
        Chicago O'Hare]. But the Customs agents believed the passport was
        falsified, and ultimately rejected al-Banna's entry after secondary
        security screening and questioning ..."

5/4     So, Bin Laden, star of Fox News, dies at 51.  But really the
        question is, when are we declaring war on pakistan for
        1. harboring a known terrorist
        2. taking our money ($ billions) for "antiterror" operations?
        Clearly we got scammed here.

1/4     Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
        security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
        train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
        sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
        still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
        apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

Special Report WASHINGTON (AP) -- US Customs authorities blocked a Jordanian man from entering the country 20 months before he was accused of carrying out an Iraq suicide bombing, according to an internal Homeland Security memo ob tained Wednesday. The August 22 memo to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff credit ed Customs agents with identifying Ra'ed Mansour al-Banna as a suspiciou s traveler on June 14, 2003, when he flew into Chicago's O'Hare Internat ional Airport. "While it is not clear that al-Banna was a suicidal jihadist, the basis f or denying him entry was that CBP (Customs and Border Protection) office rs that interviewed him believed his intent for entering ... was inconsi stent with the purpose of his visa," wrote Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert C Bonner. Al-Banna has been accused of carrying out one of Iraq's deadliest suicide bombing -- the February 28 attack in Hillah that killed 125 people. But the Jordanian government and al-Banna's family said he carried out a different suicide bombing in Iraq in which he was killed. The terrorist group al Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for the Hillah bombing. The Homeland Security memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Associate d Press, said al-Banna was carrying a valid Jordanian passport and valid work visa. But the Customs agents believed the passport was falsified, and ultimately rejected al-Banna's entry after secondary security screen ing and questioning, said Customs spokeswoman Kristi Clemens. Al-Banna's denied entry into the United States was briefly mentioned in a n April report in Time Magazine.
